- O paciente com trissomia 21: características dento-maxilo-faciais e modalidades terapêuticasPublication . Zenha, Sara Maria da Costa Lousa e; Reis, NelsoA Síndrome de Down, também conhecida como Trissomia 21, representa a anomalia cromossómica mais comum da espécie humana. Caracteriza-se por um conjunto clássico de sinais e sintomas que afetam o desenvolvimento neuromotor e cognitivo. O diagnóstico da Síndrome de Down baseia-se numa série de sinais e sintomas, sendo a sua confirmação estabelecida através do estudo cromossómico. Nem toda a população afetada apresenta as mesmas características, sendo necessário uma identificação do cariótipo para um diagnóstico definitivo. Embora apresentando diferentes graus de severidade assim como inicio de manifestação dos primeiros sintomas em diferentes alturas, toda a população com SD apresenta morfismo característico da face e do sistema esquelético, alterações do SNC e início precoce da doença de Alzheimer. As características dento-maxilo-faciais afetam o normal funcionamento do sistema estomatognático. A maioria possui um padrão braquifacial com um desenvolvimento mandibular no sentido anti-horário e manifesta má-oclusão sob uma vasta etiologia. Consequentemente ocorrem alterações a nível da estética, postura, mastigação, respiração e fonação. Apresentam inclusive um controlo de placa ineficaz e pobre higienização oral, sendo os procedimentos de prevenção importantes. A Ortodontia tem um papel de relevo no tratamento das má-oclusões que contribuem para as limitações do paciente. Ressalte-se a importância da sensibilização dos familiares para a necessidade de higienização bucal destes pacientes, bem como o conhecimento pelo médico dentista acerca das principais manifestações bucais que acometem os pacientes portadores, para que o tratamento adequado seja oferecido e a qualidade de vida desses indivíduos preservada.
- Accompagnement en psychopédagogie perceptive et estime de soi: recherche qualitative et quantitative auprès d’une population de personnes accompagnées en psychopédagogie perceptivePublication . Bouchet, Valérie; Bois, DanisThis research investigates the effects of Perceptual Psychoeducation on self-esteem and attempts to answer the following question : « To which extent and how does Perceptual Psychoeducation contribute to raising self-esteem ? » The theoratical framework used is based on four consecutive chapters which address in turn the theoretical and conceptual aspects of Perceptual Psychoeducation, a first attempt at defining the concept of ways of being and the theoretical fields of motivation and of self-esteem. This dissertation has been conducted in the posture of a practioner-researcher using a mixed method. The quantitative approach refers to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale which was applied to seventeen participants before and after a series of 12 sessions. It evaluates the initial level of self-esteem of the participants and how this evolved after the sessions are concluded. The qualitative approach is inspired by phenomenology and hermeneutics and is founded on Bois’ method of anticipation-emergence. The data was collected through seventeen semi-structured interviews, followed by a multi-category classificaction analysis, a case-by-case phenomenological analysis and a transversal hermeneutic analysis. The research shows positive results with regards to the effectiveness of Perceptual Psychoeducation in raising self-esteem and brings to light elements that contribute to a better understanding of the process that the participants experience as their self-esteem improves.
- La conversion au contact du corps sensible: une recherche heuristiquePublication . Gauthier, Jean-Philippe; Humpich, Jean-Marc; Gómez González, Luis AdolfoThis research of phenomenological and hermeneutical inspiration is set in a first person posture. The foundations of this research are set in a comprehensive and interpretative approach and find elevation within the paradigm of the Sensitive, a paradigm that considers the sensitive body as being both the place of emergence of one’s rich and complex experience as well as the structural basis of all stages of this type of research. The problematisation phase, likewise the collection, presentation and interpretation of data were all conducted in a dynamic heuristic quest as described by Clark Moustakas. Together they culminate in the conversion of a central metaphor; the latter being set freely in the pages of a journal and becoming the object by which the hermeneutical process is able to unfold in successive loops, as inspired by the work of René Barbier. From the onset of this research, the ambition has been to rely on the embodied experience of conversion that emanates from being in contact with joy in order to answer the question: "Buy which means can an exploratory process and the understanding of a conversion experience in relation to the sensitive body help to identify and systematize the issues and challenges accompanying the process of such a phenomenon?" Through the self-teaching process of one’s singular journey of conversion, this heuristic approach offers details and fine intelligibility relative to the historical and social elements of the studied phenomenon. It also generates a movement of understanding that highlight the skills, attitudes and actions which help effectively accompany and guide an experience of conversion in respect to the sensitive body. The major challenge here aims at producing meaning, knowledge, consistency and health from the experiential knowledge which is implicit to such a rigorous and formative existential practice set in a perceptual educational psychology framework.
